Brainstorming our future – we need ideas from everyone for what we want the secular community in the San Joaquin Valley to be involved with.

Future planning – I want to create 1, 2, and 5 year plans for future goals.

New Groups – Encouraging the creation of, and offering support for new organizations.

Secular / Skeptical community support – We can’t forget to offer events for everyone – for those people who just want to get together and talk, to those who want to do.

Community outreach – I want to raise awareness of the secular community in the San Joaquin Valley. To be accepted as part of our community we need to become more visible in our community. I think we can do good things while doing this. Highway cleanup, homeless assistance, and be more active in community events.

Public relations – we’re lousy at this. We need to be better. Community outreach will help, and we can get training for those of us who want it.

Growth & Membership – we need ideas here.

Raising funds – as we become a nonprofit, we need a way to pay for our status, for our events, for educating the public about the secular community.

Pie-in-the-sky goals – we should make some amazing goals. A secular community center? Sunday Assembly? A full-blown secular conference with speakers, workshops, and panels? Let’s see if they are not so silly.

What I really want to see is brainstorming, and to use that to figure out our direction and goals in order to meet our purpose.

There are a LOT of opportunities for us, and several offers of various forms of assistance if we can coordinate it all.
